  • Product Description

    Schizandra is a small red berry known in China as the "five flavor berry," because it tastes sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent all at once. In Asia it's one of the most celebrated beauty herbs, and in Taoist tonic herbalism it's one of the rare herbs said to nourish all three treasures: Jing, Qi and Shen.


    Ours is a wildcrafted northern schizandra berry extract, a rust-orange, cinnamon-brown powder that stirs into a rosy amber tea with a bright, sour-sweet taste.


    May support:

    • Radiant, youthful-looking skin

    • Healthy liver function

    • Strength and stamina


    Ingredients: 100% wildcrafted schizandra berry extract powder. That's the entire list. No fillers, no flow agents. Sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan.


    If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please skip this one (here's why). If you have a health condition or take medication, check with your healthcare professional before use.

THE FIVE FLAVOR BERRY

In Chinese, schizandra is called wu wei zi, the five flavor berry. In Taoist tonic herbalism those five flavors were seen as a sign that it reaches the whole body, and it's one of the few herbs said to nourish all three treasures: Jing (deep vitality), Qi (everyday energy) and Shen (the spirit). Across Asia it's long been taken for beauty and as a tonic to ease fatigue.¹


Research has caught up with some of that reputation. In lab research, schisandrin B, one of the berry's natural compounds, helped protect skin cells from sun-related oxidative stress.² And in a 12-week placebo-controlled human study, women taking 1,000 mg of schizandra extract a day saw greater gains in leg strength than those taking a placebo.³


WILDCRAFTED AND DI TAO SOURCED

Di Tao is a traditional Chinese standard meaning an herb comes from the region where it has always grown best. Our schizandra is wildcrafted northern schizandra from its traditional home in China, then packaged here in the USA.


We use a concentrated berry extract, so every half teaspoon delivers more of the berry's lignans, the compounds behind its reputation. The result is a rust-orange powder that turns water a rosy amber.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: How much schizandra should I take?

    Half a teaspoon (about 1,000 mg) a day is a good place to start. That's about the same daily amount used in the 12-week human study on strength.³
